+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bonding <interface> min-links <0-16>
+
+ Specifies the minimum number of links that must be active before asserting
+ carrier. It is similar to the Cisco EtherChannel min-links feature. This
+ allows setting the minimum number of member ports that must be up (link-up
+ state) before marking the bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for
+ situations where higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a
+ minimum number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover.
+
+ This option only affects 802.3ad mode.
+
+ The default value is 0. This will cause carrier to be asserted (for 802.3ad
+ mode) whenever there is an active aggregator, regardless of the number of
+ available links in that aggregator.
+
+ .. note:: Because an aggregator cannot be active without at least one
+ available link, setting this option to 0 or to 1 has the exact same
+ effect.
